He holds a Foundation Degree with Distinction in Integrative Counselling and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and a member of NCPS, reflecting his commitment to recognised professional standards. Stefan has worked both in agency settings and in private practice, offering support in-person and online.

His work is informed by an integrative approach that draws on psychodynamic and person-centred theories, and he frequently uses interventions learned through ongoing professional development. Stefan specialises in one-to-one work across a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, self-esteem, stress, anger management, loss and bereavement, ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep difficulties, parenting challenges, career concerns and compassion fatigue among others.

Stefan places strong emphasis on the therapeutic relationship and the exploration of underlying patterns, including elements of the unconscious. In an empathic and nonjudgmental setting he supports clients to explore emotions and life experiences, increase self-awareness and work toward meaningful change. His practice is collaborative - he listens attentively and aligns therapy with each client’s goals so that the client’s agenda guides the process.

As a BACP-registered practitioner who undertakes regular personal supervision, Stefan follows an ethical and professional framework designed to maintain high standards of care and professional accountability.

Attachment and Emotion-Focused Support Delivered Online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotional responses. It helps people understand attachment styles, work through fears of abandonment or closeness, and build more secure connections. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathetic relationship where the therapist follows the client’s lead to foster self-understanding and personal growth; it is useful for people seeking validation, clarity, and increased self-esteem. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) targets emotional experience and regulation within relationships, helping clients identify and shift problematic interaction cycles and deepen emotional bonds.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Stefan collaborates with each client to determine what fits best. He will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and adapt methods as therapy progresses so the work reflects the client’s priorities.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family and travel, and allow clients to continue continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult. Stefan integrates his clinical approaches into these formats to support meaningful progress in ways that suit individual lives.
